Anonymous said: Hey! I was wondering for the 500 followers list prompt, you could do Headcannons for a TNG high school au? I was thinking of it as if they were students. Thanks so much if you decide do this!
He’s one of those rare types who defies stereotype.
No one can place him in any particular group, no set table in the cafeteria.
Of course, he prefers to spend lunch in the library. For some reason, the librarian never reprimands him if he eats there.
He’s fairly popular, and certainly no outcast. Whenever he enters a room, he exudes this undeniably authoritative aura.
Always taking the lead in group projects. Always.
Enjoys athletics, especially long-distance running. He’s trained for marathons in the past, and participates in cross-country events.
Subtly nerdy. He raises his hand all the time in English class.
Whenever students are assigned memorization work of a poem or a monologue, they can’t wait to hear Jean-Luc recite it.
His recitation of Hamlet’s To Be or Not to Be soliloquy went down in the history of the school as receiving a standing ovation and actual tears streaming down the teacher’s face.
He’s been the lead in the school play since his sophomore year. He was the first sophomore to get the lead.
Very private, especially in regards to his personal life. No one ever knows what’s going on in his head – or who he’s dating.
That guy. Every coming-of-age movie has one of them.
The more than slightly annoying, jock, “cool” guy that everyone wants to be around.
Secretly not a complete dunce. If he put in some effort, he could be doing great things.
Comes from money. The Rikers have been pumping money into the school for generations. Probably the only way that Will hasn’t gotten expelled.
There are probably several plaques in the school with ‘Donated by the Riker Family’ on them.
Has his own car the moment he turns sixteen, making him even more of an object of envy for the next few months.
Like his infamous escapades, his string of girlfriends is legendary. There’s a new girl on Will Riker’s arm every month.
But lately, since he started dating Deanna Troi, he’s toned down his reckless behaviour.
He’s also begun to realize that underneath his act, there’s a surprising amount of vulnerability that he’s refused to acknowledge.
Very likely the smartest person in the school.
He can memorize dates for history and formulas for math without a single error.
He is the captain of the school robotics team, and they’ve had a winning streak in the district and state tournaments since he joined.
He is also responsible for the construction of “Broomby,” a highly modified Roomba that can go 20 km/hr and is very good at wreaking absolute havoc when a distraction is necessary.
He is also on the autism spectrum (he has Asperger’s), and he finds it difficult to interact with people and feels uncomfortable in social situations.
This sometimes makes him a target for bullying, but Data has learned to ignore the people who tease him.
Even the teachers sometimes grow annoyed when Data tries to answer every question in class.
His adoptive father, Dr. Noonien Soong, is very protective of his son. But although he often wants to intercede on his behalf when he hears about the bullying, Data always stops him.
He hasn’t told him, but Data just wants to make his father proud, and prove that he can stand up for himself.
The kind of person everyone wants to be friends with.
Rarely has a bad word to say about anyone. Very kind, funny, and helpful.
Geordi excels in the classes which require some hands-on work.
A star in woodshop. He has a knack for carving.
But he’s also very good at automotive work and technology-related tasks.
Always helps people with their homework. Might not know the answer every time, but he’ll sit and work it through.
He’s working at all the open houses for the school, talking to prospective students and touring them around the facilities.
When Data comes to the school, they immediately become fast friends.
Geordi understands how difficult it is to be different from other people. He’s visually impaired, but he doesn’t let that stop him from doing the things he loves.
The two of them spend late nights working on robotics projects, and Data even designed a pair of visual aids for his friend.
They didn’t work as well as the ones he already had, but Geordi kept them anyways.
He’s absolutely hopeless when he works up the courage to ask his crush out.
But Data doesn’t really get that sort of thing either, so it all works out.
The model student and president of the Student Council.
Like Will, she also comes from a family of significant repute, but she doesn’t try to use her status for bonus points.
For her entire first year of high school, she denied any relation to the Howard family, just to prove she could make it on merit alone.
Everyone knows that Beverly is definitely going to get into a very good medical program in an Ivy League university.
She has top marks in Biology and Chemistry in her grade (Data is a year younger than her), and is an Honours student.
Beverly is friendly and effusive, but still introverted. She prefers to stick to her small group of friends.
She also has very high standards about the people she dates. Not many people can say they’ve gone out with Beverly Howard.
That’s why everyone was so shocked when she started dating Jack Crusher. A nice guy by all means, but no one particularly remarkable.
The two of them loved each other with a passion that could have went far beyond “high school sweethearts.”
But just before graduation, “could have” became all it ever could have been.
Distracted. Listening to music. Talking.
Not seeing the truck that ran that red light.
Then Beverly didn’t know who to think to blame, not even Jean-Luc. Who was in the car too. Who survived.
The most popular girl in the school.
On first appearances, she comes off sometimes as a bit of an airhead.
Some people say she’s concerned more with her clothes than school itself.
But they couldn’t be more wrong.
Deanna is constantly motivated, trying hard in all her courses.
She knows she’s no Beverly Crusher, and certainly not Data, but she’s determined to succeed.
She’s an empath in every sense. She’s a great conversationalist, and has high emotional intelligence.
Whoever talks to Deanna always feels better and happier by the end of the conversation.
She gets top marks in the psychology class, and she’s considering becoming a psychiatrist or a counsellor.
She likes to make people feel good, and talk them through their problems.
Some people honestly prefer talk to Deanna than the actual school counsellor.
When Will Riker asks her out, she almost says no. In fact, she only says yes on the condition that she won’t become one of his cast-offs.
And surprisingly enough, Will Riker stays true to his word.
Because to him, Deanna is worth all the things in the world.
The slightly frightening exchange student.
He came from Belarus with his adoptive brother, Nikolai.
Compared to his rather rebellious and genial sibling, Worf is very stoic and prefers to keep to himself.
Some people joke that the brothers might as well have come from different planets.
Not many people have seen past his stony exterior. There are a few exceptions, though.
Deanna Troi, who he dated briefly in his junior year. But it ended up not working out, and they parted as good friends.
Jean-Luc Picard, who he respects as an intelligent person and capable leader.
He is brilliant at sports, if rather aggressive.
He’s the captain of the school wrestling team, probably one of the best they’d had.
The bulk of sports-related injuries at the school had some relation to were caused by Worf.
He spends quite a bit of time in the gym, where he discovered he had an aptitude for basketball.
Tasha Yar introduced the game to him, and she remains his usual partner for shooting hoops.
He always stands up for the underdog, because he knows what it’s like to be one.
So, if he sees any of the younger kids being bullied, there’ll be hell to pay.
Ever since her first day of freshman year, Tasha Yar had acquired a sort of rebel mystique.
In the first lesson, she corrected the History teacher on a particular fact about the Cold War.
Not very politely, mind you.
By the end of the first month of school, she had been sent to the principal’s office twice.
Tasha’s very much a lone wolf. Wasn’t there to make friends, no matter how many people thought her defiance was “cool.”
“Tragic backstory unlocked at level 4.” No one’s got there.
She’s consistently skipped Fridays to strike for climate change.
She came early to school (for once) in order to put up signs protesting the heartbeat laws in Alabama and Georgia.
Tasha is a killer debater, and Debate is the only club she participates in.
If you try and argue anything with her, you’ve just dug your own grave.
Loves heavy metal, but also classical music. She doesn’t talk about the latter one as much, though.
When she’s not protesting the dress code, her favourite t-shirt reads: “Dismantling the patriarchy, brick by brick.”
And no one dares make fun of her, because they know they’ll pay for it one day.
